As part of further operations, officers searched an apartment in Wrocław, where the third member of the group was arrested. The spokesperson said: – At the place of residence and from the arrested individuals, police secured, among other things, cash, documents and a vehicle that the perpetrators used to travel between cities.
What did the investigators establish?
The findings so far indicate that the group committed numerous thefts from shops in the following provinces: Lower Silesian, Greater Poland, Silesian, Opole, Pomeranian, Łódź and Lubusz, causing losses of no less than PLN 60,000.
Through a thorough analysis of the evidence, surveillance and coordinated actions by officers, the activities of the mobile group, which used various methods to avoid accountability, were brought to an end.
